Mamoulian War

You can consider this article as an confirmation maybe https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/tank-putin-russia-victory-day-b2335411.html Only one tank was showcased on the Red Square and it was T-34.

Seems like, some Russians are finally starting to pass the reality check after sobering a little

And translation of latest social post by Girkin.

UK intelligence take on Russian labor market, which was discussed here few days ago.

The last thing, I want from any tabletop RPG is hack and slash

Commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has confirmed today, that the Kinzhal was indeed successfully intercepted near Kiyv by Patriot air defence system. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/05/6/7400941/

Prigozhin has stated, that he will be withdrawing his forces from Bakhmut on May 10th.

Do you still remeber the brilliant idea of Russian commander to dig in Chernobil soil? It looks like some other commander came with similarly brilliant idea in Zaporhizhzhia Oblast and decided to dig in a graveyard for the last rest of infected cattle. After short while his troops contracted and started to spread Anthrax withun their units

In a fiction, I do not care if Caesar is portrayed as black or Martin Luther King as asian. It’s up to the director to make the the movie worth watching while offering plausible enough justifications for the race swaps. Although, I can get annoyed, of someone raceswaps Hill Dwarfs with Duergars But anything, which calls itself a documentary should stick to the real facts, else you end up sooner or later with the “true” history, where Ukrainians or Jews are not a nation That being said Cleopatra was of Ptolemaian heritage, who were well know for “enjoying” quite a bit of interbreeding, which makes it very implausible, that she was anything but a Greek/Macedonian woman with a healthy dose of tan from all of that sunbathing under Egyptian skies.

Question to guys from US. Having seen the clashes between Republicans and Democrats about aid to Ukraine, how significant is this answer of McCarthy to Russian journalist?

The UA forces have shown few days ago streams made by drones hovering above Moscow.

Looks like the resolutions is gaining at least some negative traction in Russia. Girkin has reposted a statement from a former Deputy of Duma, and he is unprecedently attacking Putin, blaming him for puting Russia in the worst isolation in the history of Russia.

Well few days ago, Ukraine did hint on how many of their soldiers died since 3day SMO started, and it caused a nice diplomatic faux-pas. According to UA officials, the number of UA military casualties is lower than number of civilian casualties during the latest earthquake in Turkyie, which is counted as 60k deceased and 120k injured.

While people here were ridiculing the post by Prigozhin about losses of his troops, Reuters published report on Russian “progress” on Bakhmut as well. It is estimated, that they lost in last 5 months 100k soldiers, out of which 20k has been KIA. The battle is ongoing for more than 8 month already and the city area taken by Russia is less than 40 square kms. Impressive eh? https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/us-believes-russians-ukraine-have-suffered-100000-casualties-5-months-2023-05-01/

Worth to mention, that Brasil and IIRC India voted for it as well. Do not recall how SA voted.

Fresh officer meat to the front.

Sorry, I do not know/remember that saying. It is pretty long time since I last learned Russian at school.

If anyone still thinks, that Russian casualties and UA:RU KIA ratios might be overinflated. By the words of Prigozhin himself, each meter of progress in Bakhmut is made at the cost of 1.25 soldier.

Looks like a lot of fire safety protocols have been violated yesterday by Russian personel

You seems to not understand, that it’s in Russian’s nature to make all these extra hoops for centuries, just to be able to lie to everyone else with strainght face, that it wasn’t them, or all has been done “according to law”. My family experienced all these extra hoops first hand, while we were occupied for 30 years by them, for everyone else, who were lucky to not experience Russian World yet, I really recommend to read or attend some plays written by Pushkin or Dostoyevsky to learn a little bit about true Russian mentality. The best poem to start would be Dostoevsky’s Idiot. https://welovetranslations.com/2022/07/17/whats-the-best-translation-of-the-idiot/ Edit: Yes I know, you have polish herritage, therefore I am little bit of puzzled, that you find it implaussible of how many extra hoops the Russians are wiling to perform, just to be able to divide the populace in the countries, they want to conquer or influence, while doing their best to look innocent in the eyes of their puppets and commrades Edit2: and you are also forgetting, that one of the things they have blown up, was NordStream 2 pipe, which already had zero value during the explosion, as there was no chance for it being used for gas transportation in the next decade or two

Anyway very funny to read, how private armies in Russia are illegal by law, while Shoigu recruiting for his own PMC Like the laws in Russia would be ever worth anything to “ruling class”

As Azdeus and Bruce said, if they turn it off, they can be balmed for it, and lately sued for breaching the contracts for massive fines. Blewing it up, without getting caught, and convincingly blaming US for it, would hit two birds woth one stone. Destruction of trust between EU and US, and massive uproar in Germany due to extreme prices of gas on thier market. Thankfuly, if they were the culprits, they miscalculated again like many many times before

To easier blackmail EU of course. Here is a theory which I posted few months ago, by one of Danish military analysts. Emphasis on theory. (Although few weeks ago I have posted some swedish newspaper here as well, which was talking about the same observation of unusually high RU activity near the place of “accident”.
